What friction force acts between a refrigerator and the floor when the fridge is pushed?

Friction opposes motion so the friction force will be in the direction opposite to that in which the fridge is pushed.


What causes a plastic bottle when filled with hot water to contract when a lid is placed on the top?

We have to assume that the lid does not allow air to enter the plastic bottle. When the water is hot, the air above the water is also hot. When the air cools down, its volume decreases significantly. This, in turn, causes the pressure in the bottle to decrease such that atmospheric pressureis greater than the pressure inside the bottle. This causes the bottle to contract since the force exerted on the bottle due to atmospheric pressure is greater than the force exerted on the bottle due to the air pressure inside the bottle. The volume of the bottle decreases until the pressure of the air inside becomes equal to atmospheric pressure. The changes in volume, pressure and temperature can be explained by the equation pV=nRT, where p:pressure of gas V:Volume occupied by gas n:number of moles of gas R:molar gas constant T:Thermodynamic temperature of the gas


What is it being When 100 percent of radiation bounces off of an object?

The radiation is being totally reflected.The object is absorbing momentum from the radiation, and is experiencinga force ... being 'pushed' ... in the direction that the radiation was travelingbefore the bounce.I'm not making that up.

Can you melt plastic in water like a small bottle lodged inside a toilet without damaging the toilet or pipes?

No. Either snake the toilet and get it back, force it down or take the toilet up and get it that way.
